Pros

I get to know exactly how to make decisions, thanks to the clear leadership principles. If I am in doubt, just follow them. No one can argue with you on following the leadership principles. Great managers for me so far. Great compensation. Great stock options. Great Healthcare. I love the downtown city campus. Great work-life balance. I work on relativly cool stuff. My work affects millions.

Cons

Amazon products are sometimes, not the cutting edge. They are value priced. Which sometimes sucks as for an employee to work at a less cool company. Some teams tend to be siloed. try not to get siloed. Not as many employee benefits.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
